  • Password: your email address password
• You should see a checkbox to Remember Password, this should be checked
• Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) should not be checked

You should also see a button in the lower right of this window labeled More Settings ..., click it. Another window will open with three or four tabs at the top, depending of the version you are using:

• General: we do not need to change anything on this tab
• Outgoing Server:
  • My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: this must be checked
  • Use same settings as my incoming mail server must be selected from the list
• Connection: leave all settings at default
• Advanced:
  • Server Port Numbers
  • Incoming server (POP or IMAP): 995 for POP, 993 for IMAP
  • Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
  • Note: Below the port numbers, you will either see a checkbox labeled This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) or a drop down menu labeled Use the following type of encrypted connection. If it is a checkbox, is must be checked. If it is the dropdown menu, it must be set to SSL (or possibly SSL/TLS)

Once you heve everything added to the More Settings section, click OK

You should be back at the Add New E-mail Account page. Click Next to completed the set up. Outlook will test the settings and save once completed.

Congratulations!! You now have your email account set up on your Outlook.

Still having issues

Other then the setting or password getting changed, there is typically not much that can go wrong with Outlook. However, recently, it has been following in MacMail's footsteps with the random setting changes after updates.

Follow the same troubleshooting steps as other mail clients:

• Restart the App
• Restart the machine
• If all else fails, try removing the account and adding it back. This option should only be used with IMAP accounts, as deleting a POP account can lead to lost emails.
• If you do decide to delete the account, you may get an error regarding the Data file. If you do get this error, you only need to click on the Data File tab and create a new file. The default settings will work fine.
